The effects of shape and presentation position of arrows on a frontal plane were investigated to the direction perception of leftwards and rightwards arrows. Those were a narrow top, a narrow tail, and an equal width stem of arrow; and the left, right, and center positions. As a result, the perception between the leftwards and rightwards arrow was different. Except for the equal width stem arrow, the perception was influenced with the presentation positions. The forwards direction was predominant in all positions for the leftwards arrow but only in the right position for the rightwards one.
